The touch of beauty. Hand-crafted from natural, oiled oak or walnut wood, BOWL is characterised by the exciting contrast between its gentle curves and the stringent straight lines of the lid. Its broad edges are angled slightly inwards so that the lid fits securely. The interior accessory can be used in many settings: as a handy vide-poche beside the front door, a decorative jewellery box, or on a desk as a special home for beautiful writing utensils. Available in two sizes, BOWL is striking, sophisticated and unique.
